Pests are more than a nuisance in poultry production. They stress birds, disrupt rest and feeding behavior, damage skin and feathers and can reduce performance and welfare if not controlled quickly and effectively. CyLenceTM 1% Dust is a ready-to-use insecticide dust which provides effective knockdown and residual control of beetles, ants, spiders and wasps as part of a broader integrated pest management (IPM) program.
Why external pest control matters
Even in well-managed, fully enclosed barns, birds are exposed to a range of pests, including beetles, ants, spiders and wasps that can hide in cracks, litter and equipment. These pests can:
- Increase stress and reduce feed efficiency
- Damage skin and feathers, predisposing birds to secondary issues
- Move between house and age groups, challenging biosecurity programs
What is CyLence 1% Dust?
CyLence 1% Dust is a ready-to-use insecticide dust formulation for control of crawling and flying insect pests in and around poultry houses. Some of the key benefits for poultry integrators include:
- Broad-spectrum pest control: Helps control crawling and flying insect pests in poultry facilities.
- Flexible application: Dust formulations are often easy to apply in areas where insects rest and breed. CyLence 1% Dust can be applied using hand or power dusters or other suitable equipment.
How CyLence 1% Dust fits into an IPM strategy
Effective pest management in poultry is never a single-product solution. It combines environmental management, structural and operation practices and strategic insecticide use to keep pest populations below levels that affect bird welfare and performance.
By integrating CyLence 1% Dust into a structured IPM plan, integrators can use insecticides more judiciously, support bird comfort and welfare and help sustain long-term effectiveness of their pest-control tools.
